# CustomLocalizedStringResourceConvertible

A type that provides an out-of-process localizable description.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol CustomLocalizedStringResourceConvertible
```

## Overview

Overview Similar to CustomStringConvertible, types that conform to CustomLocalizedStringResourceConvertible provide their own representation when converting to a string instance. Whereas CustomStringConvertible provides a description string, this type offers a LocalizedStringResource. This allows out-of-process callers to create a localized description from the resource, possibly in a different locale than the current process uses.
